Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players argue it\u2019s more fun to play as a dumb character Larian StudiosThe Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 community seems to be in agreement that role-playing as a low Intelligence character is way more fun. Thanks to Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s incredibly flexible combat system, players can pull off some absolutely ridiculous feats in combat, like piling smokepowder barrels around a major boss to obliterate them. To pull off these item-based deathtraps, it\u2019s always helpful to have characters with high strength like Barbarians and Fighters. However, a high Strength stat usually comes with a tradeoff of low Intelligence. Many members of the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 community don\u2019t seem to mind that penalty, though, as players have argued it\u2019s more fun to roleplay as a dumb character anyway. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fans love playing as dumb characters A post on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 subreddit gained a lot of traction among the community after one user named Zodigod made a post titled, \u201cI may be stupid but you\u2019re mean and that\u2019s worse.\u201d They attached a meme from Yakuza 2, which showcased what it\u2019s like to play as a low-intelligence character, and argued that \u201cA real man\u2026oughta be a little stupid.\u201d Members of the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 community loved the meme and shared their fun experiences of the silly shenanigans they were able to pull off with their low intelligence builds. \u201cMy Tav looks like a dwarf version of Kratos walks around in nothing but red undies and a hooded cape and fights barehanded with ridiculous force it\u2019s the epitome of that feeling,\u201d said one fan. Some fans argued they don\u2019t need Intelligence when their high Strength does the job just fine. \u201cSome people think they can outsmart me.. *sighs* maybe\u2026maybe. I\u2019ve yet to meet one who can outsmart greatsword,\u201d noted another fan. On the other hand, some fans argue that having a high Intelligence stat doesn\u2019t make a character any brighter. \u201cMy fiance Gale has high Int and he\u2019s a dumbass, said one fan, referring to their bumbling Human Wizard companion. It just goes to show that although one\u2019s player character may be dumb, as long as you play smart you can win any encounter in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
